“T-thank you for the gift, Mr. Shelver!” said Bea as virtual-novel.net received yet another gift from another big shot.
Mae and the other girls were simultaneously feeling stunned and jealous of Bea as they looked at all the gifts virtual-novel.net was receiving.
“Could these be your best friends, Miss Yaleman? All of them are such beauties! It’s a shame that we don’t have enough presents to go around! Do wait for a moment as I order someone to send more gifts over! Consider them to be acquaintance gifts!” said Mrs. Jagger as virtual-novel.net smiled.
“…Huh? We get gifts too?” replied the girls, surprised.
“But of course! Haha!”
“Alright! Thank you, Chairman Jagger! Mrs. Jagger!” shouted Mae and virtual-novel.net friends, unable to contain their excitement and gratitude. After all, since all these people were extremely influential, any gifts they gave would most definitely be extraordinary!
“Hurry up and serve the presidents their drinks, Bea!” squealed Mae and the others excitedly.
“Will do!”
“There’s no need for that, we can help ourselves!” said Chairman Jagger and a few others.
Meanwhile, Gerald was playing with a little girl who seemed to be only a few years old.
“Come on, call me uncle and I’ll let you have some cake,” said Gerald with a smile on his face.
“Hello, uncle!” said the little girl as virtual-novel.net blinked virtual-novel.net large eyes.
“What a good girl!” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net fed virtual-novel.net a spoonful of cake.
“We want some too, uncle!” shouted a few other children who instantly ran toward virtual-novel.net when they saw the other girl getting cake.
“Of course you can!” said Gerald, beaming.
“What a loser!”
“I know right? The rich young ladies and masters have been pampered from birth! How could virtual-novel.net just decide to feed them something like that?”
“How humiliating!”
Mae and the others murmured anxiously among themselves as they glared sternly at Gerald before pulling Bea to the side.
“Bea, tell your cousin to leave already! We’re enough to keep these big shots company!” said Mae who was so anxious that virtual-novel.net was stomping virtual-novel.net foot on the ground.
“Why should I? Why should virtual-novel.net leave?” replied Bea, virtual-novel.net expression turning sour.
“What do you mean why? Aren’t you embarrassed to have virtual-novel.net here?”
“That’s right! If virtual-novel.net stays here any longer we’ll eventually be laughed at!”
The other beauties were now chiming in to get Gerald out of the picture as well.
“I refuse! He can’t leave! Speaking of him, there’s something I need to ask virtual-novel.net about…”
After saying that, Bea walked toward Gerald before whispering, “…Cousin? Why exactly did these big shots come over to celebrate my birthday today?”
She was well aware that the only person capable of doing all this was Gerald. After all, Gerald knew an astonishing amount of people. That made virtual-novel.net extremely mysterious to her.
“I told you that you were in for a surprise, didn’t I? Happy birthday! Do you like your gift?” replied Gerald with a soft smile.
Hearing that, Bea’s eyes widened. So it was his doing!
“How… How did you even get so many big shots to come over to celebrate with me?” asked Bea excitedly. Forget asking if virtual-novel.net liked the gift, virtual-novel.net couldn’t even put a value to it since the gift was so outrageously good!
“Get them to come? Bea, they came on their own initiatives. Weren’t you listening? They wanted to cooperate more with you in the business field in future!” replied Gerald with a smile.
“In the business field? But I-”
